I been highkey thinking bout this and wanted to do a thread about alternate realities and s***:

Imagine if Pac doesnt get shot at a 2nd time, hell what if he dont get in a probation-breaking fight with lane

The beef keeps going how does it pan out for him?

I think eventually (as folks like Snoop was talking about wanting to work with Puff) folks on his side start breaking rank and Pac starts to turn into a 1v20 type of thing. Think folks would start to see it as a money losing battle from both sides

Also the beef gets interesting if bad boy/east coast rappers put up ballet footage of 2pac on the “summer jam screen” or at least in music videos, how you think he would respond to that?

I've thought about this quite a lot, and my main takeaway is that Lil Wayne would be working at McDonalds

Would be working at McDonalds after Eminem brought rap back

Not even mad at this i shoulda saw that joke reply coming lmao

Is the service at least good?

Gonna say yes due to the stove on his waist infamously turning beef to patties

his run would have probably lasted until the mid 2000s before pivoting into acting completely

As a pac fan (no gimmick, i literally bought the book where you can see ideas he had for businesses and poems and s***) idk if bro doesnt crash out.

Idk

thought abt this alot before and tbh i dont see any timeline where he wouldnt have gotten into something else with someone down the line solely off the trajectory of the last few months of his life

at best i could see him focusing on acting , starting a family and becoming mature both mentally and with age

Then he would get shot in 97

Kendrick Lamar would be working at McDonalds

Drake wouldn't be in possession of that ring

Him and Big would have squashed the beef and we'd get a collab album. Only Pac coula saved Big from Diddy.

That lane fight alone woulda kept him locked up for most the 90s tbh

no tupac ai diss track

He would definitely collab with the South more than likely. In Addition, a bunch of artists who we felt were afterthoughts in the OG timeline would definitely have slightly better careers in the alternate timeline.

dont think any of the outlawz woulda had a chance tbh.

We know for a fact him and Nas had just squashed their beef (lot of lyrics on don killuminati was meant to be changed, hell who knows if that album might have even came out tbh), maybe Nas inherits the jay z/pac beef on pac's side.

good ending is him getting out of prison and taking a sabbatical w his family & coming back to the game with primary aims of formenting a subversive cultural/political movement based on NAIM ideology.

big would definitely go on to have some type of mogul career next to puff and hov, the commission would be another Firm with one or two half-decent albums out. he'd probably have a falling out with puff and end up maybe above Mase on the 'overall' scale

pun and big l would likely get some kind of jadakiss/legendary rapper from new york/media personality treatment. one of them would host a radio show or work in radio full time, another would have a podcast

pac is probably the one where its almost impossible to predict. the most realistic is of course him becoming a massively popular actor, dare I say of will smiths caliber. he'd do random features and albums here and there for a while, im sure he'd have one amazing album to come out after a long break in the 10s ATCQ style. prob would tour with kendrick, and kendrick would be an entirely different person too

Pac would have put on Death Row East and s*** would have ended a lot differently

The commission would've actually been fire tho. Unlike the Firm you have 2 good rappers one at his peak and the other in his reasonable doubt era that would've been waaaaaaay better than the firm lol.

we were robbed of dungeon family collabs smh
